all you have to do is to come here
and. stake out a olefin, work on It a
few menthe and make a fortune, be-
oisausenot yntotillechaiiontomit:o it. It is only the
lucky few who can do that and there
until gold is found of ohin aksoinnfe aosftrtilikee
other rivera, Aga that is known to be
any good on the Klondike is taken up.
Also moat everything on the Indian
River is pretty well staked out. I
was out prospecting and located a
claim on Sulphur Creek, one of the
tributarle.e of the Indian River. Some
of the old prospeetora seem to think
that it is as good as any other, but
that remains to be seen. I intended
to go to Stewart River this fall pros-
pecting, but have. decided. to go to work
for wages this winter, and. gain what
further knowledge I can about min-
ing, and then work my claim next sum-
mer. OA it can be worked both summer
and winter, .Wages, I think. will be
good. this winter, Some miners here
have already engaged men at e17 per
day for eight months, but I judge that
$15 a day will be about the rate of
wages if there are not too many men
reach here. It is reported here that
there are tbausande of men on the
trail that will be in this fall, and. if
this is the ease, wages may go down;
but at Iaresont there is lots of work
for all who come here, tend I believe
lots of gold for all that like to come
after it;
THE TROUBLE IS TO FIND IT.
It is rather discouraging to sink a
hole about 30 feet and find nothing,
but tbia is being done every day. If two
men did two feet in eday of 24 hours
they are doing big 'work; so you can
see some of the difficulties that Plea
YOU on the way to fortune, The worst
difficulty you have to euntend with ie
the supply of food.. You may have
enough to last you ten years, but the
thing is to get it where you want to
eat a.
It is worth all the way from 35 cents
to 50 cents per pound to pack. grub to
Bonanza and Eldorado creeks, accord-
ing to the location of your chain, and
to Sulphur and Dominion creeks- it is
worth a dollar to a dollar and a half
per pound. it eounas pretty steep, but
even at that, all you. can make is about
$15 e day at packing. Imagine $15 a
day for packing only 35 miles! 'What
a snap! But one pack is enough. No
person ever makes a second trip unless
they have to. Provisiops are very
scarce here at present. You can only
buy a smaal quantity at a time, and
meat or bacon you ca.nnot buy at all;
and if it freezes up early before all
the boats get here, there will be lots
of people, starving before spring, as
there are alarge number of men who
have not got a pound of grub who
are depending upon buying it here. This
place is 1,800 miles from the mouth of
the river, and the men on the boats
don't seem. to understand the river, or
how to run a boat on it.

on a sane bar ani stay there for days
until another boat comes along to pull
them off; sO you can see there is re-
wees enough uncertainty about their
arriving to make the people who are
depending upon them 'for their pro-
visions feel rather anxious. Remember,
though I don't advise the boys to
come out here, especiaaly those hold-
ing good situations, I don't think they
will make any mistake in coming. Per-
sonally, I am satisfied with my pros-
pects from wha,t I have been able to
learn so far. As higli as 0800 has been
taken out in one pan this summer, but
this is not an everyday occurrence, far
from it. At the same time, men are to
be seen cleaning up sluices and taking
out gold, by the panful. They shovel
it about like so much wheat. Remem-
ber, this is no exaggeration. Old
miners, who have been all over the
world, stancl agthast, and say that it
is beyond the imagination of man. Only
the other day a nugget was found
worth $580, and on most of the dumps
you can easilypick up handfuls of
small nuggets without any trouble.
There is nodoubt that the first boat
that leaves here next spring will carry
the largest lead. of gold
TH:A.T WAS EVER AFLOAT.
Many men, however, have been here
for years and. have only justi found
these creeks and. it may be years be-
fore anything like it is found again.
There are Men going out of this coun-
try who will tell you that a man has
no chance here. Many who have come
here too lazy to work expecting to get
a claim worth a hundred thousand dol-
lars the day they land., and because
they can't they return disgusted, and
say the country is no good. 3. think
I have toed you all I know about this
region, except that the trials to the
mines in suramer are something that
cannot be described, but you may be
able to form eorcie iden from the price
of packing. The winter here is not so
long as it said. to be, but the cold,
I believe is intense. I will give you

the spring. Since our arrival, the

SOREflS OF MANITCYBA.
Dawson Is birgithing to assume quite
suhslantlaa appearance. The N. A.
T. e and wereepuses, and the
A. O. sterre and warehouses, are a cre-
dit to any town. A boat arrived last
night with 400 tone of supplile,s for the
A. C. Co„ and they expect !several more
boats this fell, so you can imagthe the
stores are, by no means smell. There
are about tsve,nty &evens, several small
stores, and all kinds of tradesmen's
shops. You can buy almost everything
gou want here, but you tame to pay for
it. There is nothing to be bought for
lees than 25 cents. It looks strange to
see a man in a store with his gold
sack, when making his purchases, out
of which is weighed by the storekeeper
as nineh as is required to pay for the
supplies bought. This is the way all
trade is done here.
All the Winnipeg boys are well up
to the present. We heard that a party
left Winnipeg for here in July last, but
we have not yet seen any of them.

The Airidis attacked a patrol of British

find that the enemy hed ventured
so close to Teshaveux. Fort Berm
is only a few miles distant from

close quarters was fought before the
two villages were destroyed. Lieuten-

Peacock was severely woun.ded; three

fifteen were wounded; seven native

A despatch from 'Winnipeg says: —
The prairie fires which raged all over
the country on Saturday, being fanned
and driven by a gale of wind, died
out during the night, and Sundae
moraines sun dawned upon a, ter-
rible scene of eza.th and devastation.
Farmers' houses, implements, crops,
and live, stock were everywhere in
the track of the holocaust con-
sumed, and many farmers lost their
all.
A most laxnentable story comes from
Beausejour, forty miles east of this
city, where two wamen a,nd five chil-
dren naraed Moreski were burned to
death. Fire came upon their house,
wheel -awes in the, woods, from different
directions, simultaneously, and shut
off all means of escape. Only a, few
charred remains were found in the
morning.
There were roinv narrow escapes.

caroases of the animals dot the

bits and prairie, chickens were also
a:mil:heated. People in the city were
anxious for some hours, as it was
feared. the fire would come into the
suburbs miming the trees, where the
most valuable reeidenees are located.
A timely resahge of wind averted this
impending danger.

A CRY FROM CRETE.
blussolmans Complain of Their hardships
and ask the 'Sultan and Powers For
Relief.
A despatch from Canon, Island of
Crete, says:—The Mussulinen notables
have sent the following telegrara to
the Ambassadors of the powers of
Constantinople and to the Sultan ;—
" Our position is becoming unbearable.
Winter is approaching and we are
without shelter, almost naked. and
living on a hectogram of flour per
day given. us by Mussulme,n charity.
Our Christian compatriots have burn-
ed our olives and the island will soon
be denuded of tiraber. Sowing begins
in October. R we do not return to
our homes how can we live next
season? Public charity has already
expended 5,000,000 piastres, and it is
doubtful if thet source of relief can
support us another month. We, too,
areGoces creatures. In the name of
humanity, put an end to our desperate
position."

DESERT PROBLEM SOLVED.
The most important feature of the
present Anglo-Egyptian expedition
against Use Mahcli, is the successful
sinking of wells in the desert between
Wady-Halfa and Abu -Reined. The pres-
ence of water at each a distance from
the Nee has never been euspectecl,
either by Europeans or natives, and
bids fair to revolutionize not only the
desert tribes, but the entire conditions
of desert life. Indeed, theproblem of
convertiug the great Afrioa,n deserts
into fertile territory seems to be at
length in a. fair way towardssolution,
not by meene of letting in the sea' as
proposed by Count de Lesseps, butby
the sinking of wells. Water is evi-
dently to be found everywhere in the
African deserts, provided one digs deep
enough.
